Back in the U.S.A.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:56am Charlie:

Parq! Glad you made it back. Welcome. Hope it was a good trip.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:57am listener james from westwood:

Welcome back, Parq! And how do, Charlie and all!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:59am Charlie:

Hey, James!

Howdy Charlie and everyone.

Love Gormley's work...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:04pm Charlie:

Hi there, Michael! wb to you too:)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:05pm Charlie:

jan -- hi! I was just looking at a lot of Gormley's work recently. Inspiring stuff!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:06pm Webhamster Henry:

Top o' the Nothin' to ye!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:08pm Charlie:

Henry - ha! I like that one :)
Avatar 12:09pm ndbob:

afternoon Charlie and everyone!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:10pm Charlie:

Hey there, ndbob -- well met, sir.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:12pm Webhamster Henry:

I figured Nina Simone would show up pretty soon! Yet another reason why I don't need a radio show!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:13pm Mike East:

Singing some Nina Simone to myself the other day helped me turn around a terrible day.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:14pm Charlie:

Hey, Mike East -- she can do that for you, for sure.
Avatar 12:14pm ndbob:

the psychedelic states series is really good
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:15pm Charlie:

Henry -- it's a Betty and Nina kind of day. And . . .
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:16pm Charlie:

ndbob -- agreed! so much great stuff they unearthed.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:17pm Webhamster Henry:

Got any Cleo Lane or Cassandra Wilson?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:19pm Uncle Michael:

Why do I try? That was the best set ever.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:25pm Charlie:

Hi Michael -- Thanks! but Betty, Nina, and Carmen are responsible.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:26pm Charlie:

Henry -- actually, neither, as it happens.
Avatar 12:36pm mauri:

Heya Charlie et co. took a nap twice today. evening sun hittin my window.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:37pm doctorjazz:

Late arrival, hi all!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:38pm Charlie:

hi mauri -- naps are good! say, where are you anyway, evening sun?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:38pm Charlie:

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:38pm Webhamster Henry:

Vicky says it's PLU's 25th birthday, if you believe things on Facebook.
Avatar 12:39pm mauri:

Southeast Finland. Lappeenranta.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:43pm Charlie:

Ah, Finland! Beautiful Finland. Finland, Finland, Finland. Welcome, Finland.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:43pm Charlie:

Henry, yes, and I do.
Avatar 12:54pm still b/p:

If you search Google images for Roppongi Ink Stick, you get...quite a mixed wacky bag or a secret rebus message or some damn thing.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:56pm Charlie:

"There once was a Tokyo night empire called Ink Stick, which spawned a handful of cool jazz slash ambient slash progressive clubs around town." -- www.japantimes.co.jp...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:57pm Charlie:

still b/p -- yes, an odd collection of images!
  12:57pm Parq, who can't remember his log-in info:

I wish I knew more about the Boswell Sisters. Always dig their stuff when I hear it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:00pm Charlie:

Great close-harmony pop-jazz vocal group. worked with many of the great jazz musicians of the day. Martha, Connee and Helvetia "Vet" Boswell.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:00pm Charlie:

frinstance, on that track:
February 19, 1932 -- Dorsey Brothers Orchestra: Bunny Berigan, (tpt), Tommy Dorsey (tbn), Jimmy Dorsey (cl, as), Joe Venuti (vln), Arthur Schutt (p), Eddie Lang (g), Artie Bernstein (sb), Stan King (d), Glenn Miller (arr)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:04pm Wendy del Formaggio:

Hi Charlie! Now that I'm done watching the Newfane Selectboard meeting, I can tune in. Hooray!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:06pm Charlie:

Hi Wendy:)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:07pm Uncle Michael:

Newfane; home of the late, great Fred Picker.
Avatar ♥ 1:09pm βrian:

Ok, I'm now in the chair and ready for my haircut, Charlie. I hope the party isn't over.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:09pm Wendy del Formaggio:

Uncle Michael, I didn't know him. I looked him up. His dear friend, Lillian Farber, was on the Board of Trustees at my college when I was there.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:11pm Charlie:

Hi ßrian -- the only haircut you'll get here is the devil's haircut in your mind:)
Avatar ♥ 1:11pm βrian:

Loane. Yowza.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:12pm Charlie:

Wendy -- I almost cut doing my show to go the Newfane selectboard meeting;)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:17pm Wendy del Formaggio:

Charlie, you don't have to! It was the other night. I was watching the film of the meeting on BCTV. So you can watch it when you're done with your show. It's actually kinda interesting. Security breaches!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:18pm Uncle Michael:

"Zone V Photograpy, Newfane, VT "is on every piece of gear I ever bought from Fred.
Avatar ♥ 1:18pm βrian:

It being a muggy day, I wanted some cool coffee. The barista thought I was ordering a "big-ass" coffee.
Avatar ♥ 1:21pm βrian:

Where I lived in VT, Newfane was considered to be in the Deep South.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:21pm Charlie:

Wendy -- is the Soviet Union investigating the security breaches?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:22pm listener james from westwood:

Busy as a bastard but digging the show mightily!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:22pm Charlie:

Could a chastity belt be considered "security britches"?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:22pm Charlie:

answer: I guess that depends.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:23pm Wendy del Formaggio:

Charlie, no, but they might start once I write my article.
I say YES to your security britches question. Although "Depends" is a good answer. :-)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:23pm doctorjazz:

Yeah, Steely Dan had to go in here...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:25pm Wendy del Formaggio:

Brian: Yes, we in Windham County are considered to be in Massachusetts. We are not. We are also not in the banana belt, another name northerners give us. Trust me, no bananas grow here, even though ignorant co-op shoppers often asked for the organic, locally-grown bananas.
Avatar 1:25pm sphere:

hey there. been listening but i just wanted to say that i just don't get Steely Dan. i wish i did--they are a fascinating act.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:25pm Charlie:

fwiw, re Gaucho: I have a long, involved, free-associative, personal-political analysis of what the lyrics of this song could mean. I think it would take me half an hour to explicate. Maybe some day.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:26pm Charlie:

hi sphere -- you are not alone! the later stuff is especially hard to get into if you didn't get in on the ground floor, at an impressionable age, as I did.
Avatar ♥ 1:27pm βrian:

Speaking of co-ops, I heard that the Onion River co-op was projected to do 40 million in sales this year — from one stinkin' store! How is that possible?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:29pm listener james from westwood:

Heh, looks like I've starred this dreamy Cars cover already. :)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:31pm Wendy del Formaggio:

Brian: one word -- Burlington.
Avatar 1:31pm Bill Mac:

Hiya Chaz and Nothing Doers round the world! Zzzzzzero Hour is on deck here at the Drummer Stream: wfmu.org...

Stop by anytime between 2 and 5 pm. That’s 3 hours mates! Weeeeeooooooh!
  1:31pm jan:

Gormley had a show at Sean Kelly Gallery in NYC this past season...mostly exploring this cubic representation of his figure. He has shows there regularly...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:33pm Charlie:

Heya, Bill! Evvybuddy tune in for Zzzzzzero Hour -- next!
  1:35pm βrian:

Our Madison co-op has just opened its third location. No shortage of capital, clearly.
Avatar 1:36pm Bill Mac:

Sounding good as usual Mr. Charlie!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:39pm Charlie:

Thanks, Bill! Have fun today>>>
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:39pm Charlie:

Betty was born in Flint. My hometown.
Avatar ♥ 1:44pm βrian:

No Seine in Flint ...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:46pm Charlie:

Gotta go to France for that one.
Although the picture from Antony Gormley's "Another Place" with the ballerinas is from the shore of Liverpool.
Avatar ♥ 1:54pm βrian:

How many puddles in a pool?
Avatar 1:56pm ndbob:

excellent show Charlie!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:56pm Charlie:

ßrian -- Is that question philosophical, spiritual, political, or ontological?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:57pm Charlie:

Thanks, bob! Glad you all could be here today. Stay tuned for Bill Mac! Here's his playlist: wfmu.org...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:57pm Charlie:

jan -- Gormley's explorations of the human figure are fascinating :)
Avatar 1:58pm mauri:

Good show Charlie!
Avatar ♥ 1:58pm βrian:

Maybe demographic? In any case, thanks for the noise, Charlie. À la prochaine.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:59pm listener james from westwood:

Always a delight; thanks, Chaz!!
Avatar 2:01pm Michael:

Another home run! Thanks Charlie.
